The notoriously impatient Aries will appreciate this vintage Nintendo game on her keychain, a perfect waiting-in-line distraction. Chances are she's also a video game fanatic because of her competitive streak. But if you can't afford to spend $50-plus on the newest hotness, you won't go wrong with the much-loved "Donky Kong." A "Zelda" version is also available at this old-school gamer nerd shop.

Skateboard Deck, $32

Silver Board Shop2205 Silver SE265-4912

These gorgeous custom decks were designed by Alex Pinto, a local tattoo artist, so even if your Aries already has a well-worn board, she'll likely be impressed with this limited-edition specialty deck. Silver Board offers the “Silver 505” in widths 7.5 through 8.5 inches, and it comes with free grip tape.

Mini-V Remote Controlled Boat, $79.99

A quiet afternoon of fishing at Tingley Beach probably isn't your Aries' speed, but an RC speedboat should liven things up. This 14-inch vessel is durable, it's quick and all parts are easily replaced should something go wrong. And you don't get much more affordable in the top-notch remote-controlled toy arena.
